Why aren't all outdoor plants hermies?

I've never grown outdoor so maybe someone could shed a light on this for me. How are outdoor plants not all hermies? I mean even if you're in a desolated part of a forrest somewhere without any city lights for miles and no cars driving by or houses, you'd still have the light from the stars and the moon. So obviously they would never be in "complete" darkness as they would inside a grow tent for example. So how does this happen? Do you have to cover them or what? I was thinking that maybe the "natural" light of the stars and moon wouldn't be the same as a fluorescent but then again a photon is a photon right or....? Or is the idea of "complete darkness" a somewhat exaggerated and unneeded strategy? To the outdoor growers; what's your experiences with this? Do you have a higher instance of herms in your crops as compared to an indoor grow? Any insights, thoughts, experiences welcome.
